Do you need to get a huge amount of data into PowerBase quickly? Do you have tens or hundreds of new contacts from a recent door-knocking event or meeting that you need to get into PowerBase right away?

Instead of having volunteers, staff, or organizers do data entry, you can import contacts, memberships, contributions, event participants, activities, groups, tags, and relationships into PowerBase.

This training covers the basics of importing, including:

  • What kind of shape your data should be in before you import
  • How to complete all the steps of importing contacts
  • How to avoid creating duplicate contact records
  • How PowerBase helps you troubleshoot import errors

PTP Kicks Off the PowerBase Pilot Project

Increasingly, organizers are aware of the central role that databases play in their work. However, as it stands right now, every organization has a uniquely inadequate, customized database. In fact, most organizations have more than one database, which only serves to exacerbate the problem.

For years, organizers have been pushing PTP to tackle this database problem, knowing that PTP's understanding of the field and our knowledge of the unique challenges faced by organizers would result in a database solution you could trust.

This year, we're launching the PowerBase project to create a database that works for organizers.
